So, first thing this morning I call Verizon, wade through the

[rzemanfl]

automated menus and such and get through to a person. I tell her I want a new phone number. She says it will cost $31.00, I go into a rant about the NSA, she says "but you don't have an unlisted number" she obviously has no clue. I tell her to watch the news and I will call back later. Tomorrow I am going to tell them that I want a new number every month until they stop giving data to the NSA and I don't expect to pay anything for it.

1. Good Luck my friend...

... Watch for those multiple $31 charges... This is Verizon... They've got us beat at this game...

[rzemanfl]

2. Don't expect a "yes" answer, but have the complaint procedure

all outlined, right up the line, it is in the front of the phone book.

3. But if many people call Verizon to complain

it will help make waves in getting this practice stopped. If one remains silent, the spying will definately continue.

I am calling my provider AT&T.

4. You know what we have to do, don't you?

We have to purchase and publish the call details of Verizon's executives.

5. Hey, I like this idea...

... Use their own plays against them... If only... I would rather focus my energy on getting these rat bastards out of our WH and into a cell, where they all belong...

6. Just dump Verizon

Get a VOIP line.

7. That's going to be funny

Can I have your old number?

You know what's entertaining - if such a concept can apply here - about all this bullshit is that those records, like everything else Fuckface, will never be touched, never be used for anything.

It's like they're obsessive-compulsive hoarders, those ratbastards.

[rzemanfl]

8. Sure. Do you really think that they would not use this data to

trace the calls of child abductors? Then bank robbers, then people who do not pay their parking tickets? Wanna buy a nice bridge?

[OldLeftieLawyer]

10. They can't

You'd have to know how to go through the records, and we all know these learning-impaired asswipes can't find their vestigal dicks in the dark with two hands, a map, tweezers, magnifying glasses, and prayer.

[rzemanfl]

11. You forgot "and a flashlight." n/t

[OldLeftieLawyer]

12. No, I didn't

They don't know how to turn on flashlights.

[rzemanfl]

13. That's because they think they are something to shove up some

poor bastard's ass.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

14. Just as soon as they

remove the plunger from their own asses - the one they thought was a portable chair.

Our goal is to improve the quality of customer service and phone support in the US. This free website is run by volunteers and is powered by over one million consumers who demand high quality phone support from the companies that they use.

We will soon publish a list of the best and worst mass-market consumer companies in the US based on how long it takes to get to a human on the phone and on the quality of support received.

Please help us grow our customer support ratings database by taking a moment to rate the quality of support you receive when calling a consumer company you use: (form)

Our site has information for many types of consumer companies including credit cards, finance companies (banks and mortgages), insurance companies, cell phone providers and many others.

The most popular part of the gethuman website is the gethuman database of secret phone numbers and codes to get to a human when calling a company for customer service. (See also our general tips.)
